I released Linefeed on January 5, 2006 as a paid typeface. It was inspired by the output of 1960s and 1970s computer band printers, which used continuous feed paper and produced a distinctive monospaced appearance. For reference I looked at old subscription labels that used band printers; those provided the capital letters, while the lowercase had to be imagined since the original machines didn’t use them. I added punctuation and accents so the typeface could function in modern contexts.

Linefeed was created as a single style and supported extended Latin. It did not include italics or OpenType features such as fractions or ligatures. On February 16, 2012, I improved the vertical metrics for better compatibility across software. No further revisions have been made.

Linefeed has not been used in notable projects, but it remains one of my explorations into adapting obsolete machine lettering for digital use.
